Perched on a ridge overlooking the famous short grass plains of the Serengeti lies what is perhaps one of pioneer safari lodges that Tanzania has to offer. Located in central Serengeti, the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge mixes deluxe style accommodation with traditional African design to create a unique flair that blends perfectly with its natural surroundings. Groves of acacia trees and flowing streams cool the domed “rondavels” that are spaced widely across the grounds. A fading vista pool sits peacefully at the edge of the ridge, giving you a perfect view to the majestic Serengeti plains.

The designs of the rondavels echo the historic site of “Ol Duvai” which means “birthplace of mankind”, the paleolithic area that is almost 2 million years old. With AfricanMecca, you will be audience to the world’s greatest wildlife show as Serengeti is home to over a million wildebeests and thousands of zebras that go on an annual migration in search of greener pastures.



Film makers and documentarists travel to Africa to witness the magnificent wildlife in this area. The Big Five of Africa, namely the lion, elephant, leopard, rhinoceros and buffalo, can also be seen. The other casts of the show are the predators like hyenas and cheetahs.

Nowhere else on earth can you experience the majesty and glory of nature as the animals follow the primordial journey from the south going west, continuing to the northern border, crossing the Mara River and then ending up in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, fighting hunger, thirst and predation in the process with the return of the wildebeest to the east during the short rains, and then south again in search for better grazing grounds and also to drop their young calves to renew life in the wild.
